Propaganda is real
1ST OF ALL IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT BULLING… YOU NEED TO STOP BULLING GIRLS!!! STOP FORCING GIRLS TO SHARE WOMEN'S SPACES WITH MEN AND THERE WON'T BE SO MANY PROBLEMS!! I'M SO GLAD I DON'T HAVE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL IN THESE TIMES. WHEN I HAVE GRANDKIDS, I WILL BE HOMESCHOOLING THEM!!! MY SON DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO BRING CHILDREN INTO THIS WORLD COS ITS NOT SAFE!!!
Kind of insensitive to talk about Nexs bullying right after she passed
Wonder if she was taking testosterone to get so aggressive.
Why don't these people wait till more information comes out!!! Why are they calling her a him?
It’s like they think we can’t compare news sources. The lies and omissions are astounding.
There is no such thing as non binary….it is a woke thing with no basis in fact.
Don't give a flying fuxxt
Hahaha!! Whats NexT?
Wow the ignorant trolls are on here today..
They are playing the bullying thing for all it's worth, but she did not die as a result of the fight.
Were the students in the girls bathroom or the boys bathroom? Did three girls or three boys or three trans students knock the student to the ground? I'm a little confused? This student threw water at the other students first? If this student was being bullied so badly why are the students walking out of class if they didn't like the student? I think some clear facts would help explain this bathroom incident.
Its a culture we seem to want here in America. Its been ok to bully others since when i was a high schooler, and in my fathers time. We thought we woupd end it. We failed. And it continues
Like any of them aren't or haven't been bullies themselves in the past…
Why would someone who considers themself a he/him go into the girls bathroom unless it was to start trouble?
10 kids walked out MAJOR NEWS because it involves a kid with mental illness. Main stream media is such 🗑️
Digusting to see all these haters twisting the issue here and saying that bullying is totally 100 percent okay as long as the victim is LGBT. In other words, 'They had it coming'.
😂
Justice #nexbenedict
It appears to me that the assailants are not white. It will be intersesting how the media responds to this once it is made known.
They/them killed they/them self
The coroner said Nex's death was not caused by head trauma. Bullying is wrong, but it has little to do with Nex's death. I live in Owasso and have been following this story closely… it's amazing how they leave out that one important detail.
Fake news.
Why do they keep calling it a "death after a fight"? It was a MURDER.
She
She needed mental help
If he she or they or it is a juvenile how did they change their name to Nex ? And again one less snowflake
I'm so sorry for your lost 😢my niece is lgbtq too
Nex was a 16yr old student period. 3 on 1 is not a fight. Owasso High school is on the reservation, there is definitely more to come. Nex was bullied continuously and the school, as usual did nothing about it
The teens got into a fight and unfortunately Nex ended up dead may they RIP
She lived for propaganda so she dies in it.
Dumb kids…Nex STARTED the fight and assaulted 3 girls she didnt even know
What was a student with male DNA doing in the girl's bathroom in the first place? If I had dared step foot in the girls room when I was in high school, I'd have been forced out by everyone there, THEN disciplined by the school authorities. This boy (more or less) violated the privacy of these girls, then threw water on them. Maybe their reaction was not justified, but it was not unprovoked and according to the autopsy didn't cause his death.
Easy people don't be so fooled by this stuff…… Who was the initial assaulter with the water bottle..
